[Verse 1]
It might take too long to turn the lights back on
I guess I lay awake, I guess I'll lay here and pray
Could you pour me one more drink? A glass of gasoline
Help me burn my pain, light me up in the rain

[Pre-Chorus]
My so-called life is so good

[Chorus]
Why do we die?
Why do we die?
Slow down

[Verse 2]
You wonder how I've been, you ain't been checking in
Just hope my vital signs would send me home again
My baby's in the grass, Jesus on the dash
I drive myself insane just hoping I could stay

[Pre-Chorus]
My so-called life is so good

[Chorus]
Why do we die?
Why do we die?
Slow down

[Bridge]
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
When deserts turn into floods, White orchids covered with mud
No magic carpet today, not today
Who takes the reigns when I'm gone disintegrate from my throne?
No magic carpet today, not today

[Chorus]
Why do we die?
Why do we die?

[Outro]
Why do we die?
Why do we die?

Limp Bizkit is a Nu-Metal group, formed in 1994 in Jacksonville, Florida, and consisting of Fred Durst, Sam Rivers, John Otto and Wes Borland. They are currently signed to Birdman’s Cash Money Records.

They have released 5 studio albums and one EP, with 3 compilation records and a remix album, New Old Songs. Two of those albums went number one, and it’s estimated they have sold over 50 million records worldwide.

Notable for their bridging of the gap between hip hop and metal, Fred Durst can be considered a rapper and a singer. Their collaborations with Method Man and Snoop Dogg solidify their street cred, and a high profile beef with Eminem only places them further into hip hop culture.
